Robin Breen

Research Assistant

“I am driven by need and impact – what issue is in most need of attention and where can I have the greatest impact. These concepts perfectly align around zoonotic disease research. The COVID-19 pandemic underscores our collective need to better understand the driving factors behind disease emergence and the substantial impact that implementing prevention measures can have. Through my work at EcoHealth Alliance I hope to further enhance disease preparedness strategies to better fight the next epidemic.”
